You really didn't need to ask now did you?

And yes, the NHRA knows which side their bread is buttered on. She will sell more tickets than all the other classes combined.

And I hate Force with a passion.

It is funny that you mentioned this. The majority of paying customers are sportsman for the companies who advertise in Dragster yet the magazine carters to the pros >wow if it were me and I were in charge I would have the majority catering to the Sportsman . I told this To Phil Burgess about 15 years ago but nothing has changed LOL at my age

Has NOBODY been paying attention? Whether you like it or not, the National Hot Rod Association is a business, and on the national level, that business is bringing fans (customers) through the gate! They do that by promoting the classes most people want to see, and that's the one's that burn NITROMETHANE. Anything that they can do to increase the number of fans (customers) who buy tickets and pay for parking and T-shirts and souvenirs is smart business! They're making money for somebody! John Force and his team bring a lot of business to the NHRA, so who wouldn't put them upfront?

Sad to say, the Sportsman racer and fans are the minority when it comes to the NHRA's business model. If the race promoter's could figure out how to fill the down-time between the rounds of the Pro classes with some other form of entertainment, we'd be replaced! NASCAR did it with their 3 classes and there's no national exposure for any of their local sportsman racers. But the fan's (customer's) keep coming back for more!

Marketing......period.

Same as NASCAR.....Danica Patrick.....

Promote a good looking woman in a male dominated sport. Gets the ladies interested.....hopefully brings in more sales and interest.

Or how about promoting some dude that will do anything/drive anything/ jump off anything....
Travis Pastrana.....attract the younger crowd.....

Without the Force Circus.........NHRA has almost no show anymore....
